Synopsis
At a time when business seems to be corrupting our relationship with sport, the indomitable Éric Cantona shows us footballers who’ve managed to resist. Their names are Mekloufi, Sócrates, Pasic, Caszely or Drogba. Five players who took part in disputes or fought back against the spheres of power, becoming figureheads of resistance or rebellion, well beyond their sole sporting achievements.
